Anyone going?
I have a film in the finals called "You Are So Dead", so feel free to cheer it on if you turn up.

I've got the video from one of the older ones ... the 'BUG' one ... but have never been to a Tropfest.
Its where Gregor Jordan won the funding/assistance to do Two Hands, right?

That's the one. Not sure if the funding came directly from Tropfest but it is how he made a name for himself.

I believe that the AFI or some ofshoot sponsor rewards the Tropfest winner with funding of some sort, for a feature film, and also one fair dinkum aussie star donates his services (Bryan Brown in the case of Two Hands).
The funding doesn't pay the film, but I believe it IS some decent sort of kickstart. Can't remember fully. Great idea, though.
